What is Melanotan 2
Melanotan 2 is a synthetic peptide that mimics the effects of the natural hormone α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone). It is being studied in laboratories as a potential modulator of skin pigmentation, as well as a substance that affects sexual activity and metabolic functions.
Researched effects and interesting facts
- Pigmentation support: stimulation of melanogenesis
- Sexual response: studies in men with erectile dysfunction
- Appetite regulation: action on MC4 receptors
- Neuroprotection: potential protection of the CNS from stress
- Skin protection: increased resistance to UV radiation
How Melanotan 2 works
It binds to melanocortin receptors, specifically MC1R and MC4R. Activation of MC1R promotes melanin production in melanocytes, which may contribute to skin pigmentation. MC4R activation is associated with increased sexual activity, reduced appetite, and increased energy expenditure.
Dosage in studies
- Dose: 250 – 1000mcg per administration
- Form: subcutaneous or intramuscular
- Frequency: daily to 3 times a week
- Duration: according to the research objective (e.g. 2 – 6 weeks)
Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), which is being studied in laboratory conditions mainly in connection with the stimulation of skin pigmentation, sexual function and the effect on appetite.
